Back to the Motherland

Tomorrow I leave for China for yet another FOB Bus Tour. Normally I hate going on the FOB bus tours, but when it’s in China it’s technically no longer a “FOB” Bus Tour, and it’s friggin’ China so it’s gonna be lotsa fun.

I would write out a list of where I’m going and when, but I actually don’t know all the spots and the names would be meaningless to 99% of the people reading this. I just know that it’s more of the southern area of China we’re visiting this time, and at the end of the tour we’ll be staying in Guangzhou for a few days on our own, mostly to shop and enjoy some of the city at our own pace.

However — just like last year, I’m signed up once again for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), with the set goal to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. Last year I accomplished a startling 50 words before giving up.

I’m going to see how this two-week trip hurts helps with the writing. I might not be aiming for an entire novel, more like just making sure I write as much as I can, so hopefully some good blog entries to post up will come of it.
